I'm not Amish by choice. 8(
Art is generally not great as a profession, but hey it might be where a person ends up when their joints stop working for hauling boxes around, so gently caress you guys too, I guess? I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to get out of those posts other than 'gently caress you for existing', which I already get enough from medical professionals and economists as of late.

Like, maybe I'm missing out on some secret cabal of artists where I get money for free, or something, I dunno what the art show scene is like. I draw dumb poo poo on commission, I'm not sure that's appreciably noble.

what are you talking about? this just means that more people whose joints stopped working can type in a few prompts and generate images. art is now a profession that more people can access, it's been democratized. you're just salty that other people are allowed into the club

Then neither is taking a picture of a soda can, or splattering some paint on a canvas. :shrug:

Yet, quite a few people believe those things requiring no particular technical skill do, in fact, qualify as art.

Was Virgil Abloh an artist? Plenty of people considered him one. How was what he did significantly different from this. Give it some thought sometime.

if someone threw a can of paint at a canvas, then gave me another can of paint and another canvas, and i threw that can of paint at that canvas, i would not have the same paint on the same canvas. i have no idea how many thousands or hundreds of thousands of tries it would take to actually do so.

if someone sent me the prompt they used to generate a specific image on midjourney and the settings they used, and bought me a subscription so i could do so, then i would be able to perfectly recreate that image in a couple of minutes

that seems like a pretty significant difference but i dunno

seems pretty dumb to argue about whether ai jpegs "are art" or not
people share cool videogame screenshots or whatever all the time, sometimes with a lot of personal involvement in playing anime dressup with their game character and setting the framing and pose etc first and sometimes just mashing the printscreen button during a random moment they spent 0 effort orchestrating
you can say "hey here is a cool picture i took from a computer program" and share it with your buds on twitter whether or not it is art that you made

the more serious questions are like "what kind of effects is this gonna have on society", especially people who currently work making stock images or menial corporate background art or whatever, not "does that person posting jpegs on twitter count as an artist (their life will be exactly the same whether i say yes or no)"

you could even argue over "does this count as copy-paste stealing from real artists" which is kinda a dumb argument but at least better than this one

How was Virgil Abloh punching keywords into a text box? Please explain how an AI can produce a Duchamp ready-made. Give it some thought sometime.

Art being produced doesn't art make. A lovely out of focus shot of a chainlink fence is art in the sense that it has aesthetic ends. Outsourcing aesthetic ends does not art make.

reading art twitter, a lot of artists seem to be under the impression the models are being actively trained in real-time, and not just using data sets compiled over two years ago

they're right the companies are absolutely building prompt submission data sets, tho

people on the stable diffusion subreddit were and still are losing their loving minds about the 2.0 model having a new built in super advanced filter that prevents it from generating nudity or photos of celebrities because someone saw a paragraph on their github page talking about using a SFW filter for LAION and had no idea what it meant

Now that I think about it, if you can mess up ai driving by making signs that have things they pick up and we don't, artists can basically trap all their art and render it impractical to scrape off the web, as well as make it harder to make manual sets.

Edit: it'd be lol af if the internet got briefly clogged with AI art and then developed what was basically antibodies that ruined cheap AI art. Could probably make something that'd be impossible to program around easily since it's probably easier to gently caress stuff up then to unfuck it.

not really
it's super easy to develop 'adversarial attacks' for specific ai models but they can't really be generalized since they rely on the specific details of that one already-trained AI
for example, here is one such attack to modify images so they're not useful as input for img2img:
https://github.com/MadryLab/photoguard

note that this only works for stable-diffusion specifically, you would need a whole separate adversarial attack against e.g. dalle2 or google imagen inpainting

however afaik there is no practical way to prevent people from right click saving your image and using it as training data for a new AI model
